Around The 'CatdomeO'sphere

CATDOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

At first I didn't think there would be very much action on this week's link dump but as you peal back the layers of the onion all sorts of goodies started to show up. Things Wildcat11 learned in this week's trip Around The 'CatdomeO'sphere: Don't play Texas Hold'em with Simon Lamson, some people are doubting this Linfield team, WC11 is not the weirdest football blogger out there, SOU football just might make it, PLU's facilities are as dirty as I thought, and why do I feel like I've met UST's head coach at every car lot I've walk onto?

Why "ADvantage Catdome"

I’ve had a number of people ask me why the blog is called ADvantage Catdome. So instead of repeating the explanation over and over, I thought I would just lay it out here.

Back in 1986 my father took me to my very first Linfield game, the final regular season game vs. Pacific (Linfield would roll the Boxers on their way to their 3rd NAIA title). I was 10 years old at the time and I can remember seeing these banners the pep squad/students have hung up on the fences around the Catdome. They read “We have the ADvantage”.

I pulled on my dad’s shirt and asked him what that meant. He pointed to the coaches box in the far back of Memorial stadium and said “You see that man there? That’s Coach Rustchman. He’s Linfield’s advantage.”

It wasn't until later that my dad told me Coach Rustchman’s first name was “Ad”. Get it now? Good. Go ‘Cats!
